A few retailers, consultants and businesses I’ve served …
This is the marketing help I’ve been dreaming of!!
I've spent (wasted) a lot of money and time with marketing consultants and on marketing trainings. Then I started working with Mike Schuster. He helped me choose specific marketing strategies that fit into my style, which was so different than the overwhelming and generic firehose approach I had experienced with others. Mike also reignited my excitement and enthusiasm for my business by helping me reconnect with the true value of what I had to offer. By helping me see through the noise and clutter, he made me optimistic that I could grow my business and have fun doing it. This is the marketing help I've been dreaming of!!

My customers say “I loved your website and knew I had to work with you!”
Mike asked the right questions to fully understand my personal brand. As we reworked my home page messaging he also helped me choose the right images. I was amazed at his ability to see what I couldn't about myself and how I was representing myself, especially my home page. His suggestions were right on target. My customers say "I loved your website and knew I had to work with you!" Isn't that what we all want? Mike surpassed my expectations and I'm excited to work with him more in the future.

Made me think about the business differently, long after our conversations!
We came to Mike because of the seemingly complicated nature of our service offering. We uniquely provide as one offering what most people only see from separate offerings and we needed that to be expressed as such. Mike worked with us to develop the appropriate messaging to communicate that uniqueness … Soon after we began adjusting our marketing based on Mike’s recommendations, we received many positive comments from leads and prospects. They now better understood our unique offering. Many made statements similar to “it felt like you were in my head.” Another major takeaway from working with Mike is that he asked questions that made me think about the business differently, long after our conversations!
